Man City set to sign Juventus striker Pablo Moreno, 18, in transfer swap deal with Felix Correia heading to Italy

MANCHESTER CITY are set to seal a deal to land Juventus wonderkid Pablo Moreno with Felix Correia heading in the opposite direction, according to reports.

The Spanish forward began his career at Barcelona but moved to the Italian champions in 2018.

Man City are likely to conclude a deal to sign Pablo Moreno

He has yet to make a senior appearance for the Old Lady and his only involvement in the first team came when he was an unused substitute against Genoa last season.

Moreno, 18, doesn’t appear to have won over Maurizio Sarri with the Italian boss happy for the player to leave for England.

And Goal report how Moreno will complete his medical at Man City today before signing a four-year deal.

Former Barca boss Pep Guardiola would have spoken to youth coaches at his former club to get an insight into Moreno’s future ability.

The forward once scored a staggering 72 goals in 27 matches for the Barca youth side.

But he will have to wait before making a first team appearance with the forward likely to head out on loan next season.

As part of the deal, Correia will sign for Juventus just a year after joining Man City from Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese 19-year-old has spent the season on loan with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar but has been limited to 23 appearances in their youth side.

The move will see Correia head in the opposite direction
